Went to my local HD Buell dealer today to find out how much for a Wileyco can for the M2, patiently waited my turn at the counter and watched the sales girls eyes glaze over at the mention of the B word, she then said I'll call someone for you. Out from the workshop came a grinning long haired mechanic, turns out they've recently hired him & he used to be the spanner at the old dealers about 4 yrs ago, but the best bit is he knows & loves Buells. He had the catalogues out straight away and we were talking about what's best and what set up etc etc. I didn't order the can yet but I bought a 45 jet for the carb and he told me in detail how to set it up and modify it for better response. With the hiring of one guy my local dealers have gone from nightmare to dream. Someone must be listening somewhere. Now howabout some freebies for those of us that don't live in the good ole US of A.  yeah I know it's probably not going to happen, but if nothing is said it surely won't happen | ||

Grumpy, If there are any parts you need order them and take them back with you in August. | ||

Grumpies coming over? I'll donate a sling bag. Can't use it on a motorcycle, useless. | ||
| Mr_grumpy |
Yup, I'm flying over to Newfieland for a week of rrnwak (rest,relaxation,no wife and kids) The sling bag will be greatly appreciated thanks Tripper, Man I love this place, it restores my faith in human nature every day. | ||

Hey Tripp, If you want to ship it here and Grumpy can pick it up no problem. Keef from the KC Mob sent me one and I almost lost it to my 12yr old daughter. She tried to tell me it was a purse and real men don't carry a purse. | ||

When arguing with your children, you may win the battle, but you can never win the war. -=still pissed he's gonna miss Newfoundland this August=- | ||

Ahhh Bryan, There is always next year buddy. I am sure that those who come this year will want to come back. The problem with my daughter is that our personalities are identical but she has her mothers looks. We have a tendency to clash on things and it drives her mom over the edge at times with her being like me. | ||

For anyone in the Orlando Area. OHD has 1, count that 1, buell guy in parts. He is still new but at least he knows the product. I went looking for new turn signals. The first guy that helped me couldn't even find the right turn signals I wanted. So the "BUELL" guy, swaps sales, and starts helping me. I told him what I wanted and he finds what I need. THANK YOU OHD!!! Now just hire another guy to sell the buells. I was at the dealership a little while ago and there was this pretty S3T sitting there. I don't have the funds to buy at the moment but I wanted to ask some questions. The sales guy that was around asked if I had the money to buy before he would go look anything up. I told him, I wasn't interested in buying just interested in the bike. He told me to take a hike. Friggin bastid. | ||

Hacienda HD here in PHoenix has a parts guy that isn't so much a Buell guy as he is a PARTS guy. He doesn't care what bike the parts are for, if he can find it in the book he will bend over backwards to get it for you. If it comes up wrong part number...GAH! he picks up the damn phone and starts making calls to find out what the right partnumber is. He also is on the ball enough, that just cause the Buell part is unavailable/backorder doesnt mean he can't see if he can find a comprable harley part to get you on the road. In my case it was the front brakeline. Found that the '04 sportster line is about 3" longer then the Buell "S" series. Yes it was more of an outlay, but after rush shipping and such it was only a tiny bit more. |
